I’ll definitely be up for that. I’ve been focusing on the single player challenges and cafe books so still haven’t tried online yet.

I think a wheel will always be better simply by the fact of the range you have in pedal and steering input over a controller. However from an enjoyment perspective, having a full rig is far more enjoyable than desk mounted. By the time I went Fanatec and a full rig I’d been sim racing about 20 years and had a wheel for 15 years of that. So for me it was a relatively easy purschase but I do find it harder to recommend to others because it is a big investment. However feel, and a sense of speed, is something you’ll always miss but good ffb does help. It’s a different feeling as it’s all through your hands than your ass. But you get attuned to the feeling what the car is doing still. Oversteer is always the obvious one as it forces the wheel to countersteer. But you also get to feel understeer, the floaty feeling when you’re right on the edge of grip etc. It is the one area I’m struggling with GT7 is getting attuned to the cars and the ffb. Most of the time I’m alright but occasionally I get a snap of oversteer which catches me off guard and I can’t react to it. That isn’t to say it’s bad, it’s just not great. A bit off topic really but Live for Speed still shines for me as fantastic force feedback. Getting the feeling and judging the balance as you get just the right amount of lift off oversteer to help turn in your fwd car. Or turning in your rwd and then almost holding the wheel straight as you play with the throttle to keep the car rotating. Raceroom is supposed to have fantastic ffb too but I’ve yet to try it.

I’ve got a full Fanatec setup though different wheel and pedals but I would recommend them. I’ve got the CSL Elite, the belt driven predecessor to the CSL DD, so I’ve been keeping an eye on reviews of the CSL DD. In short, if you’re buying for your first wheel it’s a fantastic bit of kit. To come across maybe a little snobbish, GT is good with a wheel but if you go for it I’d recommend trying some ‘proper’ PC sims to see what it can really do.

Dear God! S10 is difficult! I think I clocked over 120 miles around Spa but only actually managed to complete 3 or 4 laps. Still, I got the gold in the end so that’s all licences gold for me. Which thankfully means, I never need to look at the bloody things again 😄

See all that makes me want to do is rewatch Avatar 😄 I was reading about some of the good weapons earlier and it makes me want to try and get them before continuing the main story as I’m still missing a couple of elements.

FG Memberships! (And some Launch benefits too)

Honestly I subbed just for the trophy. No really, nice work Lee. Hopefully more consistent donations can help this place grow further. -
Just wait until you get to the licence in the AMG GT at the Nordschlieffe. It must have taken me 20 attempts and even then I only squeaked gold by a couple of tenths. On that note, I am finding the licences inconsistent. I smashed one earlier by over a second on my second attempt yet the next one took 10 to get gold by a tenth. I’m still not used to the handling of this, I still feel every car is too tail happy. A bit of power oversteer or even some lift off oversteer I can live with but when you get lift off oversteer in a 1960 Fiat 500 at 25mph it starts to seem a bit much.

Seems reviews are all pretty positive for this and the handling changes look to be positive changes with cars feeling more different and bumps and kerbs having more effect. So all I can say is; is it Friday yet?!

Engage smug mode. Though I’m not the only FGer with a wheel. I just seem to be the only one that actually uses one.

An FYI in case people don’t know, if you preordered digitally you can download it in preparation for release. I had it preordered with Amazon but realised I had some psn credit for Christmas so might as well switch to digital as it isn’t a game I’ll be getting rid of. Enjoy your week off with it Phil, I expect a full review and dialy videos 😄 as I doubt I’ll have much time to play before the 9th 😞 Early reviews from those who got their amazon orders early are positive. Though seems licence test may be on the easier side again like GT Sport as seems people are getting mosty golds on their first attempts. They are the lower end licences though so maybe the higher end ones will be harder, fingers crossed.

Yup, definitely was the mission I picked up but thankfully it worked for me so seems it's a temperamental bug. Though if it means anything, I did collected the relics and all the other steps before returning to the Oseram woman. Sadly this concludes my week off with the game but still managed to get 30 hours in and hit level 29 so not bad. The only annoying thing for me is the only purgewater I have is traps and I have nothing that deals plasma damage. I know there's a few merchants who sell weapons though so think I need to check them out. Plus I'm not far along the main story line as, without spoilers, I still haven't collected the first of the 3 things you need to collect for the base. Turns out, I also suck at machine strike 😞

Thanks @Riff Machine though pretty sure that’s the mission I just picked up. Where you have to go talk to a second salvager who gives you more contracts? I just got the Bellowback kill but stopped for food so will be trying to figure out the relics later. Hopefully it works for me.

Agreed, it's no fun spoiling it for other people. I will probably post some spoilers once I'm further in the game but that's what spoiler tags are for. Though on a not really spoiler note, I saw my first Thunderjaw earlier so wandered over debating whether to try and take it on. I got close and it was an Apex Thunderjaw so I noped right outta there 😄

How is everyone getting on with this? I'm loving it so far, without saying too much, I'm about 20 hours in and level 19 and just headed out west from the base. It feels very similar to HZD but IMO that's a good thing as there hasn't been changes for changes sake. I'm not sure if they've changed the machines or I'm just out of practise but I am finding it much harder using a bow than I remember. The machines seems to close up so fast once they know where you are that a bow is only good for stealth. Still it's great fun overriding a machine and sitting back as all hell breaks loose 😄

I saw the patch install but I'm wholly absorbed with Horizon at the moment. A few video's I've seen though the upgrade does look good.

Welcome Sarah. It’s always good to see new people joining FG. I prefer online play (though I’m not very good at it 😂) over PvE but look forward to catching you in a party.

I was kinda hoping it wouldn’t transfer so I could leave my GT Sport record untarnished 😆 I guess it makes sense though to transfer it over. I just hope they get more random in their combos as gr3 at the red bull ring, gr4 suzuka, gr3 dragon trail etc came up way too often whereas Sainte Croix rarely came up.

Scarface or more recently or more recently, Dredd. Though when they remade BenHur a few years ago, I also found out the 1959 'original' everyone praises is also a remake too. Anyway, watched Psych 3: This is Gus - I loved the series, critically it isn't great but it's a good fun show, and the films were alright too. Though this is the weakest of the films but still worth a watch if you liked the show.

I'm only 4 episodes in but with what I've seen so far I'd agree with you. It reminds me quite a lot of Banshee but with considerably less sex. I'd say the opposite about the actors though, there's about 7 or 8 I know but maybe I watch more trashy TV than you 😄

Thanks Lee, was posting on my phone at lunch and it’s hard to grab video links and such. 2 things I instantly noticed and hate is they’ve kept Fuji and Autopolos 😭😂 😭

Yeah, I wonder if that’s how it was originally planned. With the seasons running concurrently, maybe something like Boba on a Wednesday and Mando on a Thursday? I guess we’ll see how much Boba is the coming Mando season.

Some more details from the Gran Turismo state of play. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-02-02-heres-everything-revealed-in-the-gran-turismo-7-state-of-play I’ve not had chance to watch the whole video yet but arguably the most important it is still veing releases on time in March.

It was fantastic seeing Cad Bane slowly walk in to town :D It’s a weird series though to comment on due to the last couple of episodes. Don’t get me wrong I’ve enjoyed them but they’ve really been Mandalorian episodes in the midde of the Boba story.

I know right! I linked them in the OP. They're ridiculous and so contradictory to the actual show yet still fit perfectly. I mean T1000 hip thrusting is always a win in my book.
